    Yesterday, Elon Musk asked Twitter users to decide whether he should sell more than $20bn worth of his Tesla shares and pay tax.
    The Tesla CEO said he would "abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes".
    And the final result is "Yes"
    But wait, why did he want to sell Tesla shares
    There are two obvious reasons
    1. He needs money
    Musk doesn't accept a cash salary from Tesla. His compensation package entitles him to stock awards.
    Musk was awarded options in 2012 as part of a compensation plan. The 2012 award was for 22.8 million shares at a strike price of $6.24 per share. Tesla shares closed at $1,222.09 on Friday, meaning his gain on the shares totals just under $28 billion.
    The options expire in August of next year. Yet in order to exercise them, Musk has to pay the income tax on the gain. The total tax bill on his options, at the current price, would be $15 billion.
    Therefore, Musk has to sell Tesla shares to make money.
    2. Tax rates may increase
    If Musk were to sell stock, now could be a good time.
    The current top tax rate on long-term capital gains is 23.8%, but Congress has been considering raising it. Changes in capital-gains tax rates often take effect immediately, to prevent gamesmanship.
    Musk previously blasted a proposed tax on billionaires that would have subjected some holdings of about 700 Americans to annual capital-gains taxes on increases in value.
    Will Tesla's share price fall?
    - On the FTX crypto exchange Sunday afternoon, Tesla tokens have traded for $1,127, or 7.8% below where the real stock closed on Nov. 5.
    - Musk's brother Kimbal Musk on Friday sold 88,500 Tesla shares, becoming the latest board member to offload a large number of Tesla stocks which hit record highs.
    - Since CEOs have limited windows in which to sell stock, and Musk would likely want to stagger the sales over at least two quarters, analysts and tax experts have been expecting Musk to start selling in the fourth quarter of 2021.
    Will Tesla's share price fall??
    What is the real reason for Elon Musk to sell Tesla shares?

    Daily Poll: A mutually beneficial relationship? PayPal (PayPal) and Pinterest. payment system $PayPal (PYPL.US)$Negotiations are underway to acquire a social media platform $Pinterest (PINS.US)$. The deal, estimated at $40 billion, will allow Paypal access to Pinterest's social media network and further solidify it in e-commerce space. However, some investors and analysts were skeptical about this potential acquisition, which soon showed up in the share price. Shares of $PayPal (PYPL.US)$It fell 5.9% to $15.15 to $243.21. Prior to that, Wednesday's decline was 4.9%. PayPal lost more than $30 billion in market capitalization. $Pinterest (PINS.US)$It fell 2.1%. They had already jumped 13% on Wednesday. Pinterest has less track record in e-commerce. It earns most of its revenue from advertising rather than shopping. PayPal will have to spend resources to help Pinterest become a commerce platform, while also integrating it with PayPal's other assets. Similar motivations are $Block (SQ.US)$A $29 billion deal $Afterpay Ltd. (AFTPF.US)$. Square announced in August that it plans to buy the buy now pay later company. In that deal, Square's Cash App will integrate with Afterpay and launch more than 70 million to exchange items that app users may want to buy at Afterpay merchants for cash. This deal seems much more ideal than the former. But who knows? Perhaps PayPal's management saw some potential in this deal. Let's go get some popcorn and see what they do.

    As the 3rd quarter of 2021 has come to an end, I wish to use this opportunity to re-visit my investment fundamentals.
    No. 1: Cash is King
    No. 2: Debt is bad
    No. 3: A clear understanding of Time Horizon is key
    My time horizon dictates how much risk can prudently be taken within my portfolio. It also keeps rough market conditions in perspective. It’s irresponsible to invest without having a clear understanding of when I need to use the money.
    No. 4: Dollar-cost averaging keeps my emotions in check
    DCA is the process of routinely adding money to investments at regular intervals. The benefit of setting up automated, routine contributions to my investment accounts is that it helps eliminate emotions from my process. It eliminates the desire to time the market, and it also increases my ability to build wealth over time.
    No. 5: Re-balancing allows me to make money without much effort
    The act of re-balancing is when I try to adjust the weightings of my portfolio as investment values go up and down to maintain their original asset allocation based on risk tolerance. Re-balancing allows me to sell the positions that went up in value, while simultaneously adding to the positions that went down.
    No. 6: Diversification is the only free lunch in investing
    There is a tendency for me to find, and pile into, “the hot investment”. This is great while things are going well, but all companies, sectors and industries go through cycles.
    The best way to protect my portfolio from this risk of over-concentration in one market segment is to have a policy of diversifying across many asset classes.
    No. 7: Conservative bonds
    When the market is soaring, many investors won’t even look at high-quality fixed income. They serve as a cushion that allows investors to withdraw funds from assets that didn’t plummet in value during a market correction. Lastly, there are rebalancing opportunities when stocks fall in price and the highest-rated bonds appreciate. I wish to add conservative bonds in Q4 as a core element of my investment strategy.
    No. 8: High returns = a high level of risk
    When the economic conditions turn, I soon realize that high expected returns could mean a higher level of risk. The bottom line is if I want to potentially achieve high returns, I need to be willing to take a high level of risk. It’s important for me to go into every opportunity with both my eyes wide open.
    No. 9: Boring over exciting could be the right approach
    I often confuse an exciting idea with a good investment opportunity. Excitement may be generated from the latest fad or an exclusive deal. These “opportunities” are, more often than not, being sold on the hype and not on their fundamentals.
    If I want to avoid being lured into one of these situations, then I need to pursue an approach of sticking with plain vanilla - boring investments. This may be a combination of blue-chip stocks, index funds or high-grade bonds.
    No. 10: Once I win the game, stop playing
    The stock market can be addictive, especially if one have accumulated a substantial level of wealth. It’s important to understand that the main purpose of investing is for one to be able to achieve our financial goals. Once I reach that magic number, there is no reason to continue to put that money at risk.
    The silver lining of a severe market downturn is that it causes me to reflect on the decisions I’ve made during the good times. However, if I stay true to the principles, it should increase my chances of success in the long run.
    Last but not least: Never Stop Learning
    I am currently studying and reading up on some new courses at @moomoo Courses
    Good luck to all. Let’s hope for a better Q4!

    $Block (SQ.US)$ is exploring the possibility of developing a Bitcoin mining system based on “custom silicon and open source for individuals and businesses worldwide.” SQ shares rose 0.64 % to close at $249 on October 15.
    Square provides credit card payment processing solutions. It also provides reporting, analytics, and next-day settlement.
    In his tweets, Dorsey reiterated the need to decentralize mining to make the Bitcoin network more resilient. Additionally, the executive insists on mining being more efficient, thus ensuring cleaner and more efficient energy use. In a series of posts, the Square executive questions why silicon design is concentrated in a few companies, leading to supply overlay constraints.

    EV start-up $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ filed for an IPO on Oct.1 and I guess the stocks can soon be traded. Rivian beat $Tesla (TSLA.US)$, $General Motors (GM.US)$ and $Ford Motor (F.US)$ to the market with an electric pickup, the R1T, which has received glowing early reviews. (The car is soooo dope by the way.)
    $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ and $Ford Motor (F.US)$ are among Rivian's backers. Although Rivian has never made money and is still tiny compared with Tesla(), I'm positive about its potentials. I think the brand just needs time to grow. What do you say? Do you think Rivian's pickup is cooler than Tesla's? Are you buying Rivian or Tesla stocks, why?

    Are you a fan of Tesla vehicles? Are you holding Tesla stocks? If you are, you would be satisfied with $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ stocks' performance as it gained almost 4% intra-day when other big tech stocks lost ground.
    But, did you notice that the oil future is surging as well? Also, the oil&gas sector gained when the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ lost 1.3%! $Eversource Energy (ES.US)$ gained 5.3% and $Marathon Oil (MRO.US)$ rose more than 4%. People are saying that oil demand will keep rising until 2035. $Ford Motor (F.US)$ and $General Motors (GM.US)$ might also be good investments. I would still invest in these stocks.
    I believe EVs cannot replace traditional cars in the short term. What about you? Are you more interested in clean energy stocks or oil&gas stocks?

    How's your portfolio doing? Mine is downSOS!!!
    Tech stocks led the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$lower 2.83% yesterday with $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$and $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$losing more than 3%. $Amazon (AMZN.US)$fell more than 2%. I guess the tech sector has to bleed as bond yields surge.
    I saw oil&gas gaining. $Schlumberger (SLB.US)$gained 2.4% yesterday.
    Do you think it's time to buy the dip in tech or buy oil&gas instead? Why?
